Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 14.0 Inch Brake System, part number 4262151GB, is a rear brake kit built around a 14-inch two-piece rotor and a 6-piston fixed caliper. It is made for rear axles with the Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing axle flange and 5×4.50 or 5×4.75 inch wheel bolt patterns, and it is a 5-lug kit.
The system pairs the 6-piston, 6P caliper with a zinc plated, slotted and drilled rotor and the widely used D0731 brake pad type. Baer’s backing plate serves as the caliper mount and also houses a modern one-piece park brake shoe assembly. The caliper is finished in Grabber Blue.
Key features
- Two-piece 6-piston 6P caliper, manufactured in Phoenix, AZ
- CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Powder coated finish
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
- Stainless braided hoses and hardware included
Before a wheel swap
A rear brake upgrade is often done alongside wheel and tire changes, so the wheel offset, backspacing and tire diameter should be checked together with the rotor. Even a small change in wheel position can alter how close the wheel comes to the caliper, so measure clearance at full steering lock and with the suspension at its normal ride height.
Rear rotors on a rear-drive axle carry less load than the fronts, but they still take heat and wear from the park brake interaction. Keep the park brake cables and shoe adjustment in mind during installation, since a poorly set shoe can cause uneven rear drag.
- Check wheel offset and backspacing
- Measure clearance at full steering lock
- Set the park brake shoe after installation

Vehicle fitment
The kit fits rear axles with the Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing axle flange and 5×4.50 or 5×4.75 inch bolt patterns. The 14-inch Pro Plus suits most wheels 18 inch or larger.
Because this kit is not matched to specific vehicles, compare the axle flange, bolt pattern and wheel clearance with your own axle before buying. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Baer’s system cannot guarantee fit with every wheel style or manufacturer, so use the Q082P template to compare it with your wheel before installation. Brake work affects stopping performance, so have a qualified installer fit the system.
What’s included
The kit includes the pre-assembled two-piece rotors with NAS high grade stainless hardware, stainless braided hoses and hardware, and the one-piece park brake shoe assembly housed in the backing plate.
Not included: Park brake cables.
